ITU-T Y.3071 (03/2017) i Recommendation ITU-T Y.3071 Data aware networking (information centric networking) Requirements and capabilities Summary Recommendation ITU-T Y.3071 specifies the requirements and capabilities of data aware networking (DAN) to realize the use cases and scenarios descri

10、bed in Supplement 35 to the ITU-T Y-series Recommendations, which are expected to be major applications/services provided on DAN. One of the objectives reflecting emerging requirements for future networks is data awareness as specified in Recommendation ITU-T Y.3001. DAN is expected to have capabili

11、ties optimized to handle enormous amounts of data and to enable users to access desired data safely, easily, quickly and accurately, regardless of their location. DAN can be described as networking whose central aim is retrieving information, i.e., information centric networking (ICN). History Editi

ITU-T Y.3071 (03/2017) FOREWORD The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the United Nations specialized agency in the field of telecommunications, information and com

14、munication technologies (ICTs). The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of ITU. ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis.

15、The World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (WTSA), which meets every four years, establishes the topics for study by the ITU-T study groups which, in turn, produce Recommendations on these topics. The approval of ITU-T Recommendations is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSA Resolutio

16、n 1. In some areas of information technology which fall within ITU-Ts purview, the necessary standards are prepared on a collaborative basis with ISO and IEC. NOTE In this Recommendation, the expression “Administration“ is used for conciseness to indicate both a telecommunication administration and

17、a recognized operating agency. Compliance with this Recommendation is voluntary. However, the Recommendation may contain certain mandatory provisions (to ensure, e.g., interoperability or applicability) and compliance with the Recommendation is achieved when all of these mandatory provisions are met

18、. The words “shall“ or some other obligatory language such as “must“ and the negative equivalents are used to express requirements. The use of such words does not suggest that compliance with the Recommendation is required of any party. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTSITU draws attention to the possibil

19、ity that the practice or implementation of this Recommendation may involve the use of a claimed Intellectual Property Right. ITU takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of claimed Intellectual Property Rights, whether asserted by ITU members or others outside of the Reco

20、mmendation development process. As of the date of approval of this Recommendation, ITU had not received notice of intellectual property, protected by patents, which may be required to implement this Recommendation. However, implementers are cautioned that this may not represent the latest informatio

38、onyms This Recommendation uses the following abbreviations and acronyms: APL Application DAN Data Aware Networking ICN Information Centric Networking ID Identifier NDO Named Data Object 5 Conventions None. 6 Justification It is essential to define the capabilities of DAN to bring its concept into re

39、ality. Several use case scenarios for DAN have been introduced in b-ITU-T Y.Sup. 35, which can be realized in different ways, e.g., with different combinations of capabilities. This aspect encourages the identification of the capabilities of DAN to realize various use case scenarios. Rec. ITU-T Y.30

40、71 (03/2017) 3 For this reason, this Recommendation intends to specify the requirements of DAN that are derived from the use case scenarios, and then defines its capabilities considering previously performed studies, such as those on communication based on name or identifier (ID) in ITU-T Y.3031 ITU

41、-T Y.3033 ITU-T Y.3034. Understanding the requirements and components of DAN enables the enrichment of the process of developing additional use case scenarios. 7 Requirements for DAN 7.1 Forwarding NDO name based forwarding function: It is required that a request be forwarded by attaching the name o

42、r ID of the NDO to the request. Request aggregation function: It is recommended that DAN elements be equipped with the function to aggregate requests to the same NDO to reduce network traffic and server load. Subscription: DAN is required to provide a mechanism for an NDO consumer to register descri

43、ption(s) to identify one or more NDOs that the consumer is interested in receiving when they are published. Publication: DAN is required to provide a mechanism for an NDO producer to publish NDOs to the network. The published NDOs may be distributed to consumers whose subscription matches the publis

44、hed NDOs. Packet forwarding loop avoidance function: DAN is required to have functions to avoid or resolve packet forwarding loops. 7.2 Routing NDO registration function: It is required that the unique name or ID of an NDO be registered to DAN so that NDO consumers can access the NDO with the name o

45、r ID. NDO location resolution function: DAN optionally provides the facility for a DAN element to ask for a forwarding direction when the DAN element cannot judge the forwarding direction of a request for an NDO. Advertisement function for the availability of NDOs: It is required that availability i

46、nformation of NDOs be disseminated to help in the choice of the correct direction of request forwarding. Network selection function for requests to reach an NDO: It is required that appropriate network interfaces be selected to forward requests in order to reach a specified NDO. 7.3 Mobility Consume

47、r mobility: DAN is required to provide a mechanism for a consumer to maintain undisrupted message flows while the consumer is in motion. NDO mobility: DAN is required to provide a mechanism for NDOs to re-locate without disrupting NDO availability when the NDOs change their locations. 4 Rec. ITU-T Y

48、.3071 (03/2017) Network mobility: DAN optionally provides an efficient mechanism for a network to maintain seamless network connection for its mobility. 7.4 Security Access control: It is required that DAN be equipped with a mechanism to examine and confirm the authenticity of consumers and that NDO

49、 be accessible only by the authorized consumers. Network security function from malicious attacks: DAN is required to have a mechanism to protect its functions from malicious network attacks. NDO availability: DAN is required to provide a mechanism to ensure that the NDOs published in networks are available for authorized consumers. NDO origin authentication: DAN is required to be equipped with a mechanism to examine and confirm the authenticity of the owners
